The Mode Collective’s Spring 14 collection has just dropped, with impeccably polished, fashion-forward and wearable styles now at our disposal. The range offers a mix of on-the-town heels and smart-casual flats, with both day and night-time outfits covered this season.

Unexpected textures, like crocodile with vinyl, and metal plating with nappa leather, have been paired together to create truly unique shoes, all handmade in Spain by traditional artisans.

And no matter which type of heel style you prefer, whether it be sling backs or slip-on mules, double strap, triple strap or multi strap, there’s definitely a pair you’ve been hunting for in this collection.

Even flats take an upmarket turn with the use of lizard-look, suave leather or patent materials, on pointed-toe shapes, flatforms or tough-feminine loafers.
